Hot Staging for Opera Lovers

The Lady with Kamellias at the footsteps of majestic Mt. Masada La Traviata meets Mt. Masada and Dead Sea

The spectacular new production of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata will be performed in a fascinating setting: The foot of the UNESCO World Heritage site and source of archaeological fascination for decades, the Masada Fortress, and the lowest point on earth, the Dead Sea, form the unique backdrop for this world class musical project.

Previous cultural events have been held at Masada, but the opera festival is the most ambitious musical project there to date. Inaugurated in June 2010, the Israeli Opera Festival at Masada has earned itself a place on the international summer open air opera circuit and after the highly successful productions in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 has already become a tradition. In 2014 the festival will return to Mt. Masada with this new ravishing production of Verdi’s most popular opera. Under the baton of famous Daniel Oren the Lady with Kamellias will meet the Dead Sea under the majestic Mount Masada and Paris will come alive in the Judean Desert.

But not only will this wonderful event enthuse you – the small country of Israel, the cradle of three world religions, offers a broad range of historical jewels and will fascinate with its rich cultural heritage. Travel through millenniums in just a few days and get a glimpse of Israel’s past, present and future!
